Free eBooks A Jane Austen Christmas: Regency Christmas Traditions (Jane Austen Regency Life- Book 1) Available To Downloads
Many Christmas traditions and images of ‘old fashioned’ holidays are based on Victorian celebrations. Going back just a little further, to the beginning of the 19th century, the holiday Jane Austen knew would have looked distinctly odd to modern sensibilities. How odd? Families rarely decorated Christmas trees. Festivities centered on socializing instead of gift-giving. Festivities focused on adults, with children largely consigned to the nursery. Holiday events, including balls, parties, dinners, and even weddings celebrations, started a week before Advent and extended all the way through to Twelfth Night in January. Take a step into history with Maria Grace as she explores the traditions, celebrations, games and foods that made up Christmastide in Jane Austen's era. Packed with information and rich with detail from period authors, Maria Grace transports the reader to a longed-for old fashioned Christmas.Non-fiction

Whenever I read a period piece of fiction I long for more information. I find myself on the Internet seeking clarification about the way of life, fashion, manners or a turn of a phrase. Finding and reading this book gave a really good insight into Regency England. It is highly entertaining and filled with more information than I had expected. Thank you, Maria Grace!
a regency Christmas tradition and recipe book. if you wanted to know what christmas looked like in the days of jane austen you will LOVE this book. very inclusive. some info is repeated a few times throughout the book.
I thought it was quite good, not at all what I expected. The customs were quite different than we know today. She went to depth about those customs. I plan on talking to my daughter about using some for Christmas this year.
I have enjoyed very much to travel in time to Austen's social millieu only to learn more about their tastes and habits.
Wonderful book so fun to read and so much interesting information……..
Great fun and informative for the Regency fan and student.
Giving as a gift but of course I looked through it and want on myself.. Recipes, games, and lots of fun stuff! My mother in law loves Jane Austen and this is the perfect stocking stuffer!
It was very enjoyable. As one who likes all things Austin, I enjoyed the continuation of the characters.
